Dear Sir or Madam,
In the Explanitory Note 20 August 2009 released to Shena Deuchars
and Louise Thorn
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ba...
it is stated that ‘in one LA, 55% of their EHE children is known to
social care.’
Please supply the name of the LA concerned.
It is also stated that
‘* Two reviews recommended that procedures for monitoring and
supporting all home educated children should be strengthened. The
other two recommended that procedures for monitoring and supporting
home educated children where there are welfare concerns, should be
strengthened.’
Does this mean two review responses or is it referring to previous
reviews, (have there been any) i.e. not the 2009 one?
Please also supply the names of the 6 LAs who claim that the number
of EHE children receiving a suitable education ‘was 50% or under’.
Also the names of the,
‘Two LAs estimated there was no education provision in over 25% of
the children on their caseloads. Four LAs said that there was
education provided in all of their caseloads.’
Yours faithfully,
M Stafford

Thanks Mrs.J.E.Garrett, I did wonder, better safe than sorry.

Dear Mr/Ms Stafford,
Thank you for your email of 2 October about your earlier correspondence,
reference number 2009/0074942, titled 'Clarification of the data in the
Explanatory note for the Badman Review Report' .
I should like to apologise for the delay in replying. The Department is
aware that it has missed the statutory deadline for reply and is in breach
of its obligations under the Act. I very much regret this - the
Department should meet its obligations under the Act.
While I appreciate that it is in no way a justification, I should like to
explain that the Department makes every effort to meet deadlines, but the
delay in responding in this case has been due to the unusual volume of
requests the Department has received in recent months. The Information
Commissioner has been informed of the situation.
The Department normally considers requests for an internal review
following a response being sent to you. I can assure you that your
correspondence is currently being considered and a reply will be sent to
you as soon as possible. If you are unhappy with that reply please
contact me in writing and an internal review will be considered.
Yours sincerely,
Jill Clark
